- Synopsis
- Freelance writer Jaine Austen is not your typical Los Angelino. Shes not rich, shes not thin, and shes definitely not starstruck. She is a sarcastic, sometime-sleuth whos never met a carb she didnt like. . . or a mystery she couldnt solve. . . If clothes make the man, then what do Jaines elastic-waist pants and T-shirts make her? A fashion nightmare, according to her neighbor, Lance. She doesnt expect Lance--who works in the designer shoe department at Nieman Marcus--to understand. . . which is how she ends up visiting his favorite boutique, Passions. While the couture is definitely not for Jaine, the staffs gossip is. Tiny orange-haired clerk Becky starts complaining about her co-worker Giselle--a. k. a. "Frenchie"-- a brittle blonde who, when shes not making fun of customers behind their backs, adds extra-marital notches to her Chanel belt. Though Jaine doesnt land a new look, she does land a new job when Passions owner gives her a chance to write their new magazine ads. But when Jaine arrives the next morning to pitch her ideas, she finds Frenchie pitched over, stabbed in the neck by one of her own stilettos. Now all Jaine has to do is figure out who hated Frenchie the most, in a case of death by designer knock-off. . . "A tale of fashion run amok. . . a lively sense of humor and an ear for the absurd help Jaine overcome any number of setbacks and a host of fashion no-nos. "--Kirkus Reviews "Jaine is a treasure. "--Romantic Times
